get color from a plot in 3rd indicator
Hi guys, I'm creating a strategy that uses an indicator that wasn't created by me, this indicator has 2 lines, I can read the value of these lines without problems, but one of them changes color in certain situations and I need to read this change of color to complement my decision making. but I can not. The best I could do was read the contents of .Plots(0).brush, but it only reflects the initial color and does not contain the changes. When I open the DataBOX window, I see the values of each indicator line, and each line "in the databox window" is painted in the correct color according to the bar that the mouse is within the graph. Can anyone help me read this color, or this is not possible. thank you all.

Hello afsnews,
Thanks for your post.
There are no supported or documented means for checking if the brush color of a third-party indicator's plot is a specific brush color for conditions.
Are you able to modify the third-party indicator?
If so, you could add public exposed variable to the indicator, set the variable to 1 when the plot changes to one color and set the variable to -1 when the plot changes to the other color. Then, in your strategy you could create a condition that checks if the variable is equal to 1 or -1 to determine the color of the plot.Brandon H.NinjaTrader Customer Service

Hi, unfortunately I don't have access to the indicator's source code, but I managed to contact the developer and asked for exactly what you suggested. I asked him to put an exposed variable, which reflects something like: 1= green, 2 = red, 3=yellow, etc. Thank you for your attention.
